Local first
The server listens only on the local computer and ships with the web interface in one executable file.

Resume Assistant
A macOS application that prepares a resume for a vacancy while keeping contacts, originals and secrets on the user’s device.
Problem
Useful adaptation without inventing experience or exposing contacts
A good application requires comparing the vacancy with the candidate’s real experience, editing several sections and checking the final wording. At the same time, phone numbers, email addresses and private source documents should not become part of a model request.
Data separation
Originals and contacts are stored separately from the material prepared for analysis.
Fact checking
Risky claims are highlighted for review instead of silently entering the final document.
Export boundary
Contacts are inserted only when DOCX or PDF is produced.
Process
From source resume to a reviewed application
- Import Markdown, DOCX or PDF and review the extracted sections.
- Detect personal data and move it into protected storage.
- Create an application from vacancy text, a link, a file or Telegram.
- Compare requirements with the profile and prepare revised sections and messages.
- Run wording, ATS and fact-risk checks before export.
Architecture
One local program with a replaceable LLM provider
The Go application owns the data, background operations, import, export and security rules. React provides the working interface. SQLite stores the index and state, while private files remain in the application data directory. Model calls use a prepared temporary area that contains only permitted inputs.
The application can use a console LLM provider or a deterministic test implementation without changing the application process.
Operation
The product includes its own maintenance tools
Long actions run as background jobs. The command line can check the installation, show process status and stop the service correctly. Encrypted backups, index repair and an explicit data deletion command cover common recovery and maintenance cases.
The separate freelance-order section is still under development and is not presented here as a released feature.
Publication boundary
Only synthetic material belongs in this case study
Real resumes, vacancies, contacts, model inputs and generated documents are not published. The source repository is private.
